In the case of temperaments, [[Dave Keenan]] and [[Douglas Blumeyer]] have proposed and used '''defactoring''' as a replacement for ''saturation'' and '''enfactoring''' as a replacement for both ''torsion'' and ''contorsion''. So, a mapping or comma basis of a temperament is either defactored (saturated) or enfactored (unsaturated, having torsion/contorsion).<ref>See [[Defactoring terminology proposal]] for details.</ref> Keenan and Blumeyer reserve the word "torsion" for the case of periodicity blocks.
